I think everyone agree that the IAB has an oversight role here. Many
of the people on this list have already advocated the need for an
appeals process to resolve disagreements about the content of notes
suggested by the IESG. This is not about the content of the document
itself. If it were, then I could understand your concern, but it is
only about the content of the note.
